I know they are relativelyinexpensive item, but when I broke one & lost one I went out to buy a replacement. I could get any number of palm stylus 3 for $9 or 3 for $19 but none that fitted my XDA IIs. Then I went online and found the cheapest I could get mine was 3 for $30. Has anyone found any cheaper ones?
Also be aware of the 3 in 1, if the tip comes off for the pen, it can get stuck in the clip that holds it...
Good point about the 3-in-1 stylus. While in Hong Kong, I tried a few different brands until I found one where the cap didn't come off. I had to use needle nose pliers to pull them out. It is better to find this item at a retailer because you do want to test them. It is a great accessory though.
Replacement Stylii
Has anyone had any luck finding replacement styli for the Blue Angel? Mine broke last night, and I can't find the second which -- theoretically -- came in the box. I found my styli for my old XDA, my XDA II and some plastic one for an original Palm Pilot I still have laying around... <sigh>.
Anyway, I see them up on eBay -- and the sales prices aren't too bad. But the shipping and handling are three times the cost of the stylus -- and the price "break" for ordering multiple items only makes shipping for the additional items cost as much as the stylus itself!!!
Anyway, any direction you can point me would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Here: Ebay rocks!!
Thanks alot man, just bought me a 3 pack for less than $7.00. NICE......compared to what i would have had to have paid through other companies

Dude, thanks for that link. I'd lost one of my styli in a car accident (long story) and so I was thinking about going to HTC direct. Just bought two from that UK eBay seller for £2.49 each with free shipping
Happy as a pig in poo.
I miss-placed the one that comes in the phone a few weeks back, not sure where or how(it was after I got the new case). forgot that a spare is provided in the box and was wondering where I can get a replacement if I can't find the lost one, I'm in the uk so might order 1 or 2 from ashcan's link.
Source for good quality stylus?
Anybody know a good source to buy a higher quality stylus than the stuff sold on Ebay? I bought a 5 pack on Ebay and they are all broken, they are made very cheap and break very easily. Also my Noreve case tends to pull out the stylus each time you remove the phone so I tend to loose some that way too I am looking for the non-magnetic version of the stylus. Thanks.

Brando Stylus?
Whatever you do don't buy Brando! Worse than Ebay, at least the cheap Ebay stuff lasts a couple days, few weeks. Brando is even cheaper quality. I just got 3 for which I paid allot of money from Brando Hong Kong, the top is very cheap plastic and they are are breaking/falling apart, the whole stylus very cheaply built.

A stylus for use in the car with SatNav
There's a universal tethered stylus on eBay for use with touch-screen mobiles or SatNavs in cars.:
Tethered Stylus
I've got one and it is good quality.

I think you will find that the so-called "Non-Magnetic" versions of the Touch HD stylus on eBay and elsewhere are actually inferior copies that unlike the orignals, have slightly enlarged plastic tops.
Yes, they do stay in the slot as they are a tight fit but it wasn't deliberate by design. It's to stop them shooting back out as the magnets have been fitted in reversed polarity
Incidenatlly I'd beware of buying ANY stylus on eBay thats sold in quantity as it usually indcates a cheap quality. Also, ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS check an eBay seller's feedback before buying. The top listed seller currently selling cheap HD Touch stylus copies on eBay has thousands of negative feedbacks yet people are STILL buying them ???
Mobile Brando...
I've found good ones on EBAY...
At first I was looking for non-magnetic so that my Noreve case would not pull them each time I remove the phone to put it in my car mount. But so far what I purchased on Ebay (non-magnetic 5 pack) and 3 Pack Brando Hong Kong (magnetic) has been very poor quality junk! I am just trying to buy original stylus now but who knows where to get those from since nobody selling these things tell you whether they are original HTC or cheap junk. I think I saw a 3 pack on expansys (mobileplanet) and I am going to assume those are good original quality but they are out of stock right now.

Did you in fact check the feedback of the eBayers before buying these stylus? I've found that 99.9% of the time if an eBay seller is selling poor quality junk it is reflected in the seller's feedback.
Dont just look at the headline feedback percentage figure - if its not 100% check it more thoroughly. It amazing that a seller can in fact be showing 99.9% positive feedback but due to large volume sales can have thousands of negative feedbacks.
Just as FYI, I researched all of the sellers and this was the only site I found who were selling original HTC styli AND had them in stock in the United States:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=173044
I received the package today and they look exactly like the original ones, i.e. it has the small black tip, exact fitting plastic cap with small rectangular "bump" on the side, the magnet, etc. Yes they're expensive, but what can you do...
I went to BB to see what accessories they had.
Can you say "Zero"?
Really.. Not one single item relating to the X10.
They should call it iBestiBuy. It's "i" whatever from wall to wall.
Any other sites I should check out ?
I am concerned about getting a skin as some are loose fitting and I'd like to see them in person.
I live in Michigan, USA.
Try Expansys or Amazon.
ebay is also a good place to look. I get my stuff from there.

Maybe Google?
Seriously - there is no universal place with best selection and prices both. I used to buy accessories at buy.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, some other virtually noname online sellers I found by Google search. Don't like online? No problem - you can try this model in some brick-and-mortar store with crazy prices. And buy it online. Anyway everything is "Made in China". The only problem - returning. That really sucks. But for now I was lucky. Look - once I bought a case for SE k790 in ebay store of one HK seller and it didn't fit. I wrote, since the description claimed this model for k790/800 and they answered that they'll send me another one for free - anything I like. I checked measurement of the phone and found a model that should fit. It was around 1/2 more expensive, but they sent it without any returns. I was impressed and always check them first. But now look like they are out of business - no website, no ebay store and a lot of negative feedbacks. So it is a little risky, but after some research it worth.
I know how you feel. Especially since they have the exclusive white x10 then it only makes sense that they carry x10 accessories. But of course, Sony Ericsson really isn't that well known over here, so what you'd find would be for Apple and...probably that's it. Joking aside, yeah, its a bummer. have you tried amazon though?

Apple's case perfectly fits my X10. I bought it around a year before X10 photos were leaked over the web. I love Apple - they are able to predict many new tends.
I mean belt's case or pouch or whatever marketing freaks name it, not skin.
By the way, try to find a difference (except price and pressed brandname LUXMO inside or outside) between some in one store:
$0.60 + $2.98 shipping - Apple Iphone 4gb 8gb 16gb 32gb
$0.33 + $2.98 shipping - just iPhone
$0.57 + $2.98 shipping - Verzion Motorola Droid A855
$1.69 + $2.98 shipping - Samsung BlackJack i607 or BlackJack 2 i617
$1.12 + $2.98 shipping - Motorola q9m Q9c Q Q9h
$2.80 + $2.98 shipping - Apple iPhone 1st & 2nd Generation including 2g 3g (4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb) (AT&T -ATT)
I like their notes about the internal memory most of all - it is really universal case from 4Gb up to 32Gb!!! Wanna case for another model - wait a minute - our representative put the sticker... errr... sorry - find a case specifically for your model. This is how online works.
I think you'll find exactly this model in regular store for from $10 up to $25. And try how it feels.
Up here in Canada the only place I'm ever able to find cases fir my x10 are at flea markets and sometimes at cellphone kiosks in the malls here.

As of this month I have purchased the following accessories.
2 car chargers from Radio Shack, the cheaper ones.
1 windshield holder from ebay seller in Hong Kong. It has a short bent arm. Not good with very steep slopes. Phone needs to be plugged in when used as GPS so limited positions with car charger. Blocks view in smaller cars. I would rather have the one with the flexible arm instead for more possibilities.
2 Belkin usb to micro retractable cords. Microcenter
1 soft silicone case totally covers the sides of phone save camera and speakers and projects out 1/8th inch from screen like bumper. It's nice but the phone could be any phone. EBAY
1 hard rubber snap-on case with cutouts for buttons, camera and speakers. Finish on mold edges is not good. EBAY

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Looks like another long wait.
I just checked again - all the rooCASEs and the MiniSuit one listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669 ship to Canada sans problem (Toronto area at least). No dice for the Verteks, Moko, or Poetic ones.
Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.

Yea, I can echo that statement, hah
I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.

Hey guys, after I emailed them to ask if they could ship here it's all of a sudden available for shipping

Yup. Shows the $5 shipping earlier but changes to $24.99 shipping in cart. Not worth it IMO.

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.

I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.
2 pages and 20 days later and the OP is still absolutely right on track:

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
I am looking for a case that has a kick stand for my new Galaxy S Player 5.0
so far the only thing i can find comes on ebay at £22 (a bit steep)

I purchased this from him as well, getting the suction stands and screen protector. It works perfectly and he ships fast (2 days) in my case, but I'm in the same state - AZ.
Also purchased additional screen protectors from him, again fast shipping.
Inquired about belt-clip cases for SGP5, said he would get back to me after checking with his supplier, so far no response, will post if he's able to get this.

just look up "3 in 1 for galaxy player" on ebay
gonna see if its any good when it arrives in 3 weeks from HK
EDIT:
got the case a few weeks ago and is working great. and the price is hard to beat at 13 USD.
